Dr. Vikram Tarugu recently opened up his practice in Okeechobee Florida. He performs Colonoscopy, EGD, EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) and other cancer screenings.

Have you been checked for colon cancer? Colon cancer is the second highest cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. With the diets that have been associated with America over the last 30 plus years, it is no wonder that Americans are having so many gastrointestinal complications.

When we as a society swapped out “whole foods” (meaning food that occurs naturally, not the chain food store) for synthetic or processed foods – we opened Pandora’s box on our health. Thinking that “fats” made you fat, there was a whole industry created for “low fat” products. What happened was we became a nation who consumed too many carbs, sugars and other processed foods that our body is just not meant to break down naturally.

Dr. Vikram Tarugu is a board certified gastroenterologist and hematologis who can help you with complications from GERD and acid reflux to cancer screenings in your colon and pancreas. Most experts agree that around age 50 you should have a colonoscopy. As we age we need to make sure our bodies are performing as they should (there is some naturally regression that occurs in efficiencies).

If you are in Florida or happen to be a “snowbird” (you live up north in the summer and winter in the south) then having a gastroenterologist in your list of medical contacts is a must.
